OAK RIDGE

Friday night was a senior showcase as Oak Ridge’s seniors did their part to win 47-6 over Hardin Valley.

Senior quarterback Rian Hall accounted for four touchdowns (one passing and three rushing), senior Matt Moore added one on the ground, senior Robert Valdez added caught his first touchdown and senior kicker Brett Beeler had a pair of field goals to lead the Wildcats to a 7-1 mark and finish the home schedule 4-1.

The Oak Ridge defense was again stout as they forced four interceptions on the night. Senior linebacker Zak Clark returned his interception more than 50 yards to hold off a Hawks scoring threat.

It was also the third shutout of a District 3-AAA foe this season for the ‘Cats. Oak Ridge has allowed just 37 points to 3-AAA opponents and is one win away from capturing at least a share of the district crown — their first since 2005.
